Tips on shipping a vehicle long distance in Canada?

Unless you’re from back to the future, you will need to ship your vehicle or drive it yourself across Canada. Driving is actually more expensive than flying and shipping your car in most cases. Airline tickets are inexpensive and sometimes free if you have Airmiles. When you factor in fuel, hotels, meals, time off work and wear and tear on your car for driving 3000 miles it quickly adds up.

There are a number of ways to ship your vehicle when moving long distance. Many moving companies prefer to keep your car separate from your furniture shipment. They take up a lot of room in the trailer and can be difficult to load and offload.  Another main reason is that cars often leak fluids that can cause damage to your furniture. Shipping a vehicle long distance via moving container is not your best choice.
